The Company's products and services are primarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, and include (i) refrigerant sales, (ii) refrigerant management services consisting primarily of reclamation of refrigerants and (iii) RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer's site, consisting of system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other contaminants. In addition, RefrigerantSide® Services include predictive and diagnostic services for industrial and commercial refrigeration applications, which are designed to predict potential catastrophic problems and identify inefficiencies in an operating system. The Company’s Chiller Chemistry®, Chill Smart®, Fluid Chemistry® and Performance Optimization are predictive and diagnostic service offerings. As a component of the Company’s products and services, the Company also participates in the generation of carbon offset projects. See “Carbon Offset Projects.” The Company operates principally through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Technologies Company. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company”, “Hudson”, “we", “us”, “our”, or similar pronouns refer to Hudson Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The Company's executive offices are located at One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, New York and its telephone number is (845) 735-6000.

Industry Background

The production and use in the United States of refrigerants containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (“HCFC”), the most commonly used refrigerants, and chlorofluorocarbons (“CFC") are subject to extensive regulation under the Clean Air Act, as amended (the “Act”). The Act, which was amended in 1990 in response to evidence linking damage to the earth’s ozone layer to the use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, prohibits any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing and disposing of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment, to knowingly vent or otherwise release or dispose of ozone depleting substances used as refrigerants. That prohibition of venting and releasing also applies to substitute, non-ozone depleting refrigerants, such as Hydrofluorocarbons (“HFC”). The Act also requires the recovery of all refrigerants used in residential, commercial and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and effective January 1, 1996, prohibited production of virgin (new) CFC refrigerants and limited the production of virgin (new) HCFC refrigerants. Effective January 2004, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, and federal regulations were enacted which established production and consumption allocations for HCFC refrigerants and imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Additionally, effective January 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitations on the use, production and importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the federal regulations implementing the January 2010 phase down schedule have been vacated and in July 2011 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) recast production and consumption allocations for the 2011 year. In January 2012, a proposed rule was issued by the EPA to address production and consumption allocations for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 years. A final rule to address production and consumption allocations for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 years has not yet been issued by the EPA. See “Recent Developments.” Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020, and production of all HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by 2030. Under the Act, owners, operators and companies servicing cooling equipment are responsible for the integrity of the systems, regardless of the refrigerant being used, and for the responsible management of refrigerant.

HFC refrigerants are used as substitutes for CFC and HCFC refrigerants in certain applications. As a result of the increasing restrictions and limitations on the production and use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, various segments of the air conditioning and refrigeration industry have been replacing or modifying equipment that utilize CFC and HCFC refrigerants and have been transitioning to equipment that utilize HFC refrigerants and a certain type of HFC’s known as hydrofluoro-olefins (“HFO”). HFC refrigerants are not ozone depleting chemicals and are not currently regulated under the Act. However, certain HFC refrigerants are highly weighted greenhouse gases that are believed to contribute to global warming and climate change and, as a result, are now subject to various state and federal regulations relating to the sale, use and emissions of HFC refrigerants. In addition, federal legislation has been proposed that, if enacted, would impose limitations on the production and importation of certain virgin HFC refrigerants. The Company expects that HFC refrigerants eventually will be replaced by HFOs or other types of products with low global warming potentials.

The Act, and the federal regulations enacted under authority of the Act, have mandated and/or promoted responsible use practices in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry, which are intended to minimize the release of refrigerants into the atmosphere and encourage the recovery and re-use of refrigerants. In addition to prohibiting the venting of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, and prohibiting and/or phasing down the production of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, the Act mandates the recovery of these refrigerants and also promotes and encourages re-use and reclamation of CFC and HCFC refrigerants. Since January 1996, when virgin CFC production became prohibited, nearly the entire service demand for CFC refrigerants in existing equipment has been met through the recovery and the reclamation of used CFC refrigerants by the EPA certified reclaimers. In addition, in December 2009, the EPA issued regulations that were effective January 2010 and which limited the total pounds of virgin HCFC refrigerants that can be produced and imported to levels which, based upon the EPA’s estimates, would require as much as 20% of the service demand for existing equipment to be met by reclaimed or recycled HCFC refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the December 2009 regulations have been vacated, and in January 2012, the EPA issued a proposed rule to address allocations for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 years. See “Recent Developments.”

Products and Services

From its inception, the Company has sold refrigerants, and has provided refrigerant reclamation and management services that are designed to recover and reuse refrigerants, thereby protecting the environment from release to the atmosphere and the corresponding ozone depletion. The reclamation process allows the refrigerant to be re-used thereby eliminating the need to destroy or manufacture additional refrigerant and eliminating the corresponding impact to the environment associated with the destruction and manufacturing. The Company believes it is the largest refrigerant reclaimer in the United States. Additionally, the Company has created alternative solutions to reactive and preventative maintenance procedures that are performed on commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. These services, known as RefrigerantSide® Services, complement the Company’s refrigerant sales and refrigerant reclamation and management services. The Company has also developed Performance Optimization services that identify inefficiencies in the operation of air conditioning and refrigeration systems and assists companies to improve the efficiency of their systems and save energy. In addition, the Company is pursuing potential opportunities for the creation and monetization of verified emission reductions. See “Carbon Offset Projects”.

Refrigerant Sales

The Company sells reclaimed and virgin (new) refrigerants to a variety of customers in various segments of the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. The Company continues to sell reclaimed CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Virgin, non-CFC refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, are purchased by the Company from several suppliers and resold by the Company, typically at wholesale. Additionally, the Company regularly purchases used or contaminated refrigerants, some of which are CFC based, from many different sources, which refrigerants are then reclaimed using the Company's high speed proprietary reclamation equipment, its patented Zugibeast® system, and then are resold by the Company.

Refrigerant Management Services

The Company provides a complete offering of refrigerant management services, which primarily include reclamation of refrigerants, laboratory testing through the Company’s laboratory, which has been certified by the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (“AHRI”), formerly the Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Institute, and banking (storage) services tailored to individual customer requirements. Hudson also separates “crossed” (i.e. commingled) refrigerants and provides re-usable cylinder refurbishment and hydrostatic testing services.

RefrigerantSide® Services

The Company provides decontamination and recovery services that are performed at a customer's site through the use of portable, high volume, high-speed proprietary equipment, including the patented Zugibeast® system. Certain of these RefrigerantSide® Services, which encompass system decontamination, and refrigerant recovery and reclamation are also proprietary and are covered by process patents.

In addition to the decontamination and recovery services previously described, the Company also provides predictive and diagnostic services for its customers. The Company offers diagnostic services that are intended to predict potential problems in air conditioning and refrigeration systems before they occur. The Company’s Chiller Chemistry® offering integrates several fluid tests of an operating system and the corresponding laboratory results into an engineering report providing its customers with an understanding of the current condition of the fluids, the cause for any abnormal findings and the potential consequences if the abnormal findings are not remediated. Fluid Chemistry®, an abbreviated version of the Company’s Chiller Chemistry® offering, is designed to quickly identify systems that require further examination.

The Company also delivers energy services offerings (“Energy Services”) to large industrial and commercial companies both in the United States and internationally. A large portion of its Energy Services business involves the performance of “investment grade” Energy Savings Assessments (“ESAs”) for process and utility systems including steam, refrigeration and process cooling, process heating, waste heat recovery, and combined heat and power systems. These assessments can identify significant energy and cost savings projects for customers that lead to a direct reduction in carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emissions from the site or from the power plants. The Company’s Energy Services division is staffed by engineers that are recognized as Energy Experts and Qualified Best Practices Specialists by the United States Department of Energy (“DOE”) in the areas of Steam and Process Heating under the DOE “Best Practices” program, and are the Lead International Energy Experts for steam systems for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. The Company’s staff have trained more than 2,000 industrial plant personnel in the US and internationally, and have developed and are currently delivering training curriculums in 10 different countries.

The Company has also been awarded several US patents for its Performance Monitoring & Optimization System (“PMOS”), which is a system for measuring, modifying and improving the efficiency of energy systems, including air conditioning and refrigeration systems, in industrial and commercial applications. The Company’s PMOS is able to identify specific inefficiencies in the operation of refrigeration systems and, when used with Hudson’s RefrigerantSide® Services, can increase the efficiency of the operating systems thereby reducing energy usage and costs. Improving the system efficiency reduces power consumption thereby directly reducing CO2 emissions at the power plants or onsite. In addition, the Company’s ChillSmart® offering, which combines the PMOS methodology with the Company’s Chiller Chemistry® offering, provides a snapshot of a packaged chiller’s operating efficiency and health. ChillSmart® provides a very effective predictive maintenance tool and helps our customers to identify the operating chillers that cause higher operating costs. Recently, the Company acquired proprietary EffTrack™ chiller efficiency software to complement the Company’s ChillSmart® offering and to enable customers to monitor and improve chiller performance and proactively identify and correct system inefficiencies.

Carbon Offset Projects

CFC refrigerants are ozone depleting substances and are also highly weighted greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and climate change. The destruction of CFC refrigerants may be eligible for verified emission reductions that can be converted and monetized into carbon offset credits that may be traded in the emerging carbon offset markets. The Company is pursuing opportunities to acquire CFC refrigerants and is developing relationships within the emerging environmental markets in order to develop opportunities for the creation and monetization of verified emission reductions from the destruction of CFC refrigerants.

Strategic Alliances

The Company believes that the international market for refrigerant reclamation, sales and services is equal in size to the United States market for those sales and services. Over time, the Company expects to introduce its technology and offerings to several geographies around the world.

In July 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Safety Hi-Tech S.r.l (“SHT”) and with the principals of Banini-Binotti Associates (“BB”). The joint venture created a new entity known as Hudson Technologies Europe, S.r.l. (“HTE”). The Company and SHT each own 40% of HTE with BB owning the remaining 20%. HTE’s purpose is to develop a business that provides for refrigerant reclamation, RefrigerantSide® services and energy optimization services throughout most of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. As of December 31, 2012, the joint venture has begun limited operations. The Company intends to, over time, have each of its offerings that are available in the US made available in each of these geographies through the operations of HTE.

In August 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with SHT. The joint venture has created a new entity known as Safety Hi-Tech USA, LLC (“USA”). The Company and SHT each own 50% of USA. USA’s purpose is to develop a business that provides fire suppression and suppressants throughout North America and Mexico. As of December 31, 2012, the joint venture has not started operations.

Suppliers

The Company's financial performance and its ability to sell refrigerants is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin, non-CFC based refrigerants, and of reclaimable CFC and non-CFC based, refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gas brokers and from other sources within the air conditioning, refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand for refrigerants. The Company's refrigerant sales include CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Additionally, the Company's refrigerant sales include non-CFC based refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, which are the most widely used refrigerants. Effective January 1, 1996, the Act limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, which production was further limited in January 2004. Federal regulations enacted in January 2004 established production and consumption allowances for HCFCs and imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. In addition, effective January 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitations on the use, production and importation of virgin HCFC refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the federal regulations implementing the January 2010 phase down schedule were vacated and the EPA has issued a proposed rule for future reductions. See “Recent Developments”. Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020 and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2030. The limitations imposed by and under the Act may limit supplies of virgin refrigerants for the foreseeable future or cause a significant increase in the price of virgin HCFC refrigerants.

Customers

The Company provides its services to commercial, industrial and governmental customers, as well as to refrigerant wholesalers, distributors, contractors and to refrigeration equipment manufacturers. Agreements with larger customers generally provide for standardized pricing for specified services.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, two customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and, in the aggregate these two customers accounted for 28% of the Company’s revenue. At December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding receivables from these customers. For the year ending December 31, 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues.

Marketing

Marketing programs are conducted through the efforts of the Company's executive officers, Company sales personnel, and third parties. Hudson employs various marketing methods, including direct mailings, technical bulletins, in-person solicitation, print advertising, response to quotation requests and the internet through the Company’s website (www.hudsontech.com). Information in the Company's website is not part of this report.

The Company's sales personnel are compensated on a combination of a base salary and commission. The Company's executive officers devote significant time and effort to customer relationships.

Competition

The Company competes primarily on the basis of the performance of its proprietary high volume, high-speed equipment used in its operations, the breadth of services offered by the Company, including proprietary RefrigerantSide® Services and other on-site services, and price, particularly with respect to refrigerant sales.

The Company competes with numerous regional and national companies that market reclaimed and virgin refrigerants and provide refrigerant reclamation services. Certain of these competitors possess greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources for the sale and distribution of refrigerants than the Company and, in some instances, serve a more extensive geographic area than the Company.

Hudson's RefrigerantSide® Services provide new and innovative solutions to certain problems within the refrigeration industry and, as such, the demand and market acceptance for these services are subject to uncertainty. Competition for these services primarily consists of traditional methods of solving the industry's problems. The Company’s marketing strategy is to educate the marketplace that its alternative solutions are available and that RefrigerantSide® Services are superior to traditional methods. The market acceptance for these services is subject to uncertainty.

Insurance

The Company carries insurance coverage that it considers sufficient to protect the Company's assets and operations. The Company currently maintains general commercial liability insurance and excess liability coverage for claims up to $11,000,000 per occurrence and $12,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company attempts to operate in a professional and prudent manner and to reduce potential liability risks through specific risk management efforts, including ongoing employee training.

The refrigerant industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory and common law liability for environmental damage and personal injury. The Company, and in certain instances, its officers, directors and employees, may be subject to claims arising from the Company's on-site or off-site services, including the improper release, spillage, misuse or mishandling of refrigerants classified as hazardous or non-hazardous substances or materials. The Company may be held strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether it exercised due care and complied with all relevant laws and regulations.

Hudson maintains environmental impairment insurance of $10,000,000 per occurrence, and $10,000,000 annual aggregate, for events occurring subsequent to November 1996.

Government Regulation

The business of refrigerant sales, reclamation and management is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including the EPA, the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and the United States Department of Transportation (“DOT”).

Among other things, these regulatory authorities impose requirements which regulate the handling, packaging, labeling, transportation and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and the health and safety of workers, and require the Company and, in certain instances, its employees, to obtain and maintain licenses in connection with its operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks on the Company.

Hudson and its customers are subject to the requirements of the Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the EPA, which make it unlawful for any person in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, and disposing of air conditioning or refrigeration equipment, to knowingly vent or otherwise release or dispose of ozone depleting substances, and non-ozone depleting substitutes, used as refrigerants.

Pursuant to the Act, reclaimed refrigerant must satisfy the same purity standards as newly manufactured, virgin refrigerants in accordance with standards established by AHRI prior to resale to a person other than the owner of the equipment from which it was recovered. The EPA administers a certification program pursuant to which applicants certify to reclaim refrigerants in compliance with AHRI standards. The Company is one of only three certified refrigerant testing laboratories under AHRI’s laboratory certification program, which is a voluntary program that certifies the ability of a laboratory to test refrigerant in accordance with the AHRI 700 standard.

In addition, the EPA has established a mandatory certification program for air conditioning and refrigeration technicians. Hudson's technicians have applied for or obtained such certification.

The Company may also be subject to regulations adopted by the EPA which impose certain reporting requirements arising out of the importation of certain HCFCs, and arising out of the purchase, production, use and/or emissions of certain greenhouse gases, including HFCs.

The Company is also subject to regulations adopted by the DOT which classify most refrigerants handled by the Company as hazardous materials or substances and imposes requirements for handling, packaging, labeling and transporting refrigerants and which regulate the use and operation of the Company’s commercial motor vehicles used in the Company’s business.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("RCRA"), requires facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes to comply with certain operating standards. Before transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes off-site, generators of such waste must package and label their shipments consistent with detailed regulations and prepare a manifest identifying the material and stating its destination. The transporter must deliver the hazardous waste in accordance with the manifest to a facility with an appropriate RCRA permit. Under RCRA, impurities removed from refrigerants consisting of oils mixed with water and other contaminants are not presumed to be hazardous waste.

7

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, as amended requires the annual reporting by the Company of Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventories (Tier II reports) to the various states in which the Company operates and requires the Company to file annual Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Forms with the EPA.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), establishes liability for clean-up costs and environmental damages to current and former facility owners and operators, as well as persons who transport or arrange for transportation of hazardous substances. Almost all states have similar statutes regulating the handling and storage of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes and non-hazardous wastes. Many such statutes impose requirements that are more stringent than their federal counterparts. The Company could be subject to substantial liability under these statutes to private parties and government entities, in some instances without any fault, for fines, remediation costs and environmental damage, as a result of the mishandling, release, or existence of any hazardous substances at any of its facilities.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended mandates requirements for a safe work place for employees and special procedures and measures for the handling of certain hazardous and toxic substances. State laws, in certain circumstances, mandate additional measures for facilities handling specified materials.

The Company believes that it is in compliance with all material regulations relating to its material business operations.

Quality Assurance & Environmental Compliance

The Company utilizes in-house quality and regulatory compliance control procedures. Hudson maintains its own analytical testing laboratory, which is AHRI certified, to assure that reclaimed refrigerants comply with AHRI purity standards and employs portable testing equipment when performing on-site services to verify certain quality specifications. The Company employs five persons engaged full-time in quality control and to monitor the Company's operations for regulatory compliance.

Employees

The Company has 92 full and 2 part time employees including air conditioning and refrigeration technicians, chemists, engineers, sales and administrative personnel.

None of the Company's employees are represented by a union. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.

Patents and Proprietary Information

The Company holds a United States patent and seventeen foreign patents and has patent applications pending in two other foreign countries, all relating to the high-speed equipment, components and process to reclaim refrigerants. The Company also holds a registered trademark for its Zugibeast®. The United States patent will expire in May 2014 and the foreign patents will expire between May 2014 and December 2014. The Company also holds several U.S. and foreign patents related to certain RefrigerantSide® Services and supporting systems developed by the Company for certain systems and processes for measuring and improving the efficiency of refrigeration systems, and for certain refrigerant recycling and reclamation technologies. These patents will expire between February 2017 and April 2032.

The Company believes that patent protection is important to its business. There can be no assurance as to the breadth or degree of protection that patents may afford the Company, that any patent applications will result in issued patents or that patents will not be circumvented or invalidated. Technological development in the refrigerant industry may result in extensive patent filings and a rapid rate of issuance of new patents. Although the Company believes that its existing patents and the Company's equipment do not and will not infringe upon existing patents or violate proprietary rights of others, it is possible that the Company's existing patent rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or future patents or violations of proprietary rights of others may occur. In the event the Company's equipment or processes infringe, or are alleged to infringe, patents or other proprietary rights of others, the Company may be required to modify the design of its equipment or processes, obtain a license or defend a possible patent infringement action. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action or that the Company will not become liable for damages.

The Company also relies on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, and employs various methods to protect its technology. However, such methods may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop such know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how, concepts, ideas and documentation. Failure to protect its trade secrets could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Recent Developments

In January 2012, the EPA published a proposed rule by which the EPA has proposed to further reduce the production of HCFC refrigerants when compared to the reductions established in the January 1, 2010 published rule. The reductions proposed by the EPA in the proposed rule range from 11 to 47 percent from the levels established in the prior rule for the calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014 (the “Period”). To the extent that there is no final rule for the Period, the industry is operating under the direction of “No Action Assurance Letters” issued by the Enforcement Division of the EPA. For the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2013, the EPA has allowed virgin production or importation of 55 and 39 million pounds, respectively, of HCFC 22. The Company believes it is likely that the final rule, which the Company expects to be issued in 2013, will allow for the production or importation of at least 45 million pounds of HCFC 22 for 2013. Once a final rule is released, the actual number of pounds will be known for the entire Period.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are many important factors, including those discussed below (and above as described under “Patents and Proprietary Information”), that have affected, and in the future could affect Hudson’s business including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below, which should be reviewed carefully together with the other information contained in this report. Some of the factors are beyond Hudson’s control and future trends are difficult to predict.

Our existing and future debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition.

Our existing credit facility, which currently expires in June 2015, is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains formulas that limit the amount of our borrowings under the facility. Moreover, the terms of our credit facility also include negative covenants that, among other things, may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. If we violate any loan covenants and do not obtain a waiver from our lender, our indebtedness under the credit facility would become immediately due and payable, and the lender could foreclose on its security, which could materially adversely affect our business and future financial condition and could require us to curtail or otherwise cease our existing operations.

We may need additional financing to satisfy our future capital requirements, which may not be readily available to us.

Our capital requirements may be significant in the future. In the future, we may incur additional expenses in the development and implementation of our operations. Due to fluctuations in the price, demand and availability of new refrigerants, our existing credit facility that expires in June 2015 may not in the future be sufficient to provide all of the capital that we need to acquire and manage our inventories of new refrigerant. As a result, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to develop our RefrigerantSide® Services business our refrigerant sales business and our other businesses. We have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing other than our existing credit facility. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our inability to obtain financing, if and when needed, could materially adversely affect our business and future financial condition and could require us to curtail or otherwise cease our existing operations.

Adverse weather or economic downturn could adversely impact our financial results

Our business could be negatively impacted by adverse weather or economic downturns. Weather is a significant factor in determining market demand for the refrigerants sold by us, and to a lesser extent, our RefrigerantSide® Services. Unusually cooler temperatures in the spring and summer tend to depress demand for, and price of, refrigerants we sell. Protracted periods of cooler than normal spring and summer weather could result in a substantial reduction in our sales which could adversely affect our financial position as well as our results of operations. An economic downturn could cause customers to postpone or cancel purchases of the Company’s products or services. Either or both of these conditions could have severe negative implications to our business that may exacerbate many of the risk factors we identified in this report but not limited, to the following:

Liquidity

These conditions could reduce our liquidity and this could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Demand

These conditions could lower the demand and/or price for our product and services, which would have a negative impact on our results of operation.

The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability.

The refrigerant recovery and reclamation industry involves potentially significant risks of statutory and common law liability for environmental damage and personal injury. We, and in certain instances, our officers, directors and employees, may be subject to claims arising from our on-site or off-site services, including the improper release, spillage, misuse or mishandling of refrigerants classified as hazardous or non-hazardous substances or materials. We may be strictly liable for damages, which could be substantial, regardless of whether we exercised due care and complied with all relevant laws and regulations. Our current insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover potential claims, and adequate levels of insurance coverage may not be available in the future at a reasonable cost. A partially or completely uninsured claim against us, if successful and of sufficient magnitude would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

9

Our business and financial condition is substantially dependent on the sale and continued environmental regulation of refrigerants.

Our business and prospects are largely dependent upon continued regulation of the use and disposition of refrigerants. Changes in government regulations relating to the emission of refrigerants into the atmosphere could have a material adverse effect on us. Failure by government authorities to otherwise continue to enforce existing regulations or significant relaxation of regulatory requirements could also adversely affect demand for our services and products.

Our business is subject to significant regulatory compliance burdens.

The refrigerant reclamation and management business is subject to extensive, stringent and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies, including the EPA, the OSHA and DOT. Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with all material regulations relating to our material business operations, amendments to existing statutes and regulations or adoption of new statutes and regulations which affect the marketing and sale of refrigerant could require us to continually alter our methods of operation and/or discontinue the sale of certain of our products resulting in costs to us that could be substantial. We may not be able, for financial or other reasons, to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permit requirements, particularly as we seek to enter into new geographic markets. Our failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations or permit requirements could subject us to civil remedies, including substantial fines, penalties and injunctions, as well as possible criminal sanctions, which would, if of significant magnitude, materially adversely impact our operations and future financial condition.

As a result of competition, and the strength of some of our competitors in the market, we may not be able to compete effectively.

The markets for our services and products are highly competitive. We compete with numerous regional and national companies which provide refrigerant recovery and reclamation services, as well as companies which market and deal in new and reclaimed alternative refrigerants, including certain of our suppliers, some of which possess greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources than us. We also compete with numerous manufacturers of refrigerant recovery and reclamation equipment. Certain of these competitors have established reputations for success in the service of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. We may not be able to compete successfully, particularly as we seek to enter into new markets.

A number of factors could negatively impact the price and/or availability of refrigerants, which would, in turn, adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Refrigerant sales continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues. Therefore, our business is substantially dependent on the availability of both new and used refrigerants in large quantities, which may be affected by several factors including, without limitations; (i) commercial production and consumption limitations imposed by the Act and legislative limitations and ban on HCFC refrigerants; (ii) the ban on production of CFC based refrigerants under the Act; (iii) the proposed legislation which, if enacted, could impose limitations on production and consumption of HFC refrigerants; (iv) introduction of new refrigerants and air conditioning and refrigeration equipment; (v) price competition resulting from additional market entrants; (vi) changes in government regulation on the use and production of refrigerants; and (vii) reduction in demand for refrigerants. We do not maintain firm agreements with any of our suppliers of refrigerants and we do not hold allowances permitting us to purchase and import HCFC refrigerants abroad. Sufficient amounts of new and/or used refrigerants may not be available to us in the future, particularly as a result of the further phase down of HCFC production, or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. Additionally, we may be subject to price fluctuations, periodic delays or shortages of new and/or used refrigerants. Our failure to obtain and resell sufficient quantities of virgin refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or to obtain, reclaim and resell sufficient quantities of used refrigerants would have a material adverse effect on our operating margins and results of operations.

Issues relating to potential global warming and climate change could have an impact on our business.

Refrigerants are considered to be strong greenhouse gases that are believed to contribute to global warming and climate change and are now subject to various state and federal regulations relating to the sale, use and emissions of refrigerants. In addition, federal legislation has been proposed that, if enacted, would impose limitations on the production and importation of certain virgin HFC refrigerants and current and future global warming and climate change or related legislation and/or regulations, may impose additional compliance burdens on us and on our customers and suppliers which could potentially result in increase administrative costs, decreased demand in the marketplace for our products, and/or increased costs for our supplies and products.

10

The loss of key management personnel would adversely impact our business.

Our success is largely dependent upon the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The loss of his services would have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

We have the ability to designate and issue preferred stock, which may have rights, preferences and privileges greater than Hudson’s common stock and which could impede a subsequent change in control of us.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of these shares, without further shareholder approval. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any additional preferred stock that may be issued by us in the future. Our ability to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our voting stock, thereby delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.

If our common stock were delisted from NASDAQ it would be subject to “penny stock” rules which could negatively impact its liquidity and our shareholders’ ability to sell their shares.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We must comply with numerous NASDAQ MarketPlace rules in order to continue the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that we can continue to meet the rules required to maintain the NASDAQ listing of our common stock. If we are unable to maintain our listing on NASDAQ, the market liquidity of our common stock may be severely limited.

Our management effectively controls our affairs.

Currently, our officers and directors collectively own approximately 28% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, our officers and directors are in a position to significantly effect, and potentially fully control us and the election of our directors. There is no provision for cumulative voting for our directors.

We may fail to successfully integrate any acquisitions made by us into our operations.

As part of our business strategy, we may look for opportunities to grow by acquiring other product lines, technologies or facilities that complement or expand our existing business. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or negotiate acceptable terms. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems or management personnel we may acquire into our operations and we may not be able to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquisition we do make.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On April 1, 1999, the Company reported a release of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11 refrigerant (the “1999 Release”), at its former leased facility in Hillburn, NY (the “Hillburn Facility”), which the Company vacated in June 2006. A failed hose connection to one of the Company's outdoor storage tanks allowed liquid R-11 refrigerant (“R-11”) to discharge from the tank into the concrete secondary containment area in which the subject tank was located.

Between April 1999 and May 1999, with the approval of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”), the Company constructed and put into operation a remediation system to remove R-11 levels in the groundwater under and around the Hillburn Facility.

In September 2000, the Company signed an Order on Consent with the DEC, which was amended in May 2001, whereby the Company agreed to operate the remediation system and perform monthly testing at the Hillburn Facility until remaining groundwater contamination has been effectively abated. In July 2005, the DEC approved a modification of the Order on Consent to reduce the frequency of testing from monthly to quarterly. The Company is continuing to operate the remediation system pursuant to the approved modifications to that Order on Consent. In December 2012, the Company met with representatives of the DEC and has proposed further modifications to the Order of Consent to further reduce the frequency and scope of testing, and expects to finalize these modifications during the first half of 2013. Based upon the Company’s recent discussions with the DEC, as of December 31, 2012, the Company accrued, as an expense in its consolidated financial statements, the costs that the Company believes it will incur in connection with its compliance with the Order of Consent through December 31, 2017. There can be no assurance that additional testing will not be required or that the Company will not incur additional costs and such costs in excess of the Company’s estimate may have a material adverse effect on the Company financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2000, the Hillburn Facility, as a result of the 1999 Release, was nominated by the EPA for listing on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) pursuant to CERCLA. The Company submitted opposition to the listing within the sixty-day comment period. In September 2003, the EPA advised the Company that it has no current plans to finalize the process for listing of the Hillburn Facility on the NPL and that the EPA will not withdraw the proposal for listing on the NPL.

The Company has exhausted all insurance proceeds available for the 1999 Release under all applicable policies.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $102,000 and $86,000, respectively, in additional remediation costs in connection with the matters above. There can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of the 1999 Release will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the EPA will not change its current plans and seek to finalize the process of listing the Hillburn Facility on the NPL, or that the ultimate outcome of such a listing will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-K constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the demand and price for refrigerants (including unfavorable market conditions adversely affecting the demand for, and the price of refrigerants), the Company's ability to source CFC and non-CFC based refrigerants, regulatory and economic factors, seasonality, competition, litigation, the nature of supplier or customer arrangements that become available to the Company in the future, adverse weather conditions, possible technological obsolescence of existing products and services, possible reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets, estimates of the useful life of its assets, potential environmental liability, customer concentration, the ability to obtain financing, and other risks detailed in this report and in the Company's other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “may”, “plan”, “should” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Several of the Company's accounting policies involve significant judgments, uncertainties and estimations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management's judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, and valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relating to its net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) and commitments and contingencies. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical and anticipated trends of payment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. In determining the Company’s valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, the Company assesses its ability to generate taxable income in the future. The Company utilizes both internal and external sources to evaluate potential current and future liabilities for various commitments and contingencies. In the event that the assumptions or conditions change in the future, the estimates could differ from the original estimates.

Overview

Sales of refrigerants continue to represent a significant portion of the Company’s revenues. The Company’s refrigerant sales are primarily HCFC and HFC based refrigerants and to a lesser extent CFC based refrigerants that are no longer manufactured. Under the Act the phase-down of future production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants commenced in 2010 and is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2020, and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2030.

The Company has created and developed a service offering known as RefrigerantSide® Services. RefrigerantSide® Services are sold to contractors and end-users whose refrigeration systems are used in commercial air conditioning and industrial processing. These services are offered in addition to refrigerant sales and the Company's traditional refrigerant management services, which consist primarily of reclamation of refrigerants. The Company has created a network of service depots that provide a full range of the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services to facilitate the growth and development of its service offerings.

The Company focuses its sales and marketing efforts for its RefrigerantSide® Services on customers who the Company believes most readily appreciate and understand the value that is provided by its RefrigerantSide® Services offering. In pursuing its sales and marketing strategy, the Company offers its RefrigerantSide® Services to customers in the following industries: petrochemical, pharmaceutical, industrial power, manufacturing, commercial facility and property management and maritime. The Company may incur additional expenses as it develops its RefrigerantSide® Services offering.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $56,447,000, an increase of $12,125,000 or 27% from the $44,322,000 reported during the comparable 2011 period. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in refrigerant revenues of $11,874,000 as well as an increase in RefrigerantSide® Services revenues of $251,000. The increase in refrigerant revenue is primarily related to an increase in the selling price per pound of certain refrigerants sold, which accounted for an increase in revenues of $18,862,000, offset in part by a decrease in the number of pounds of certain refrigerants sold, which accounted for a decrease in revenues of $6,988,000. The increase in RefrigerantSide® Services was primarily attributable to an increase in the price of jobs completed when compared to the same period in 2011, offset to a lesser extent by a decrease in the number of jobs completed compared to the same period in 2011.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $33,905,000, a decrease of $1,732,000 or 5% from the $35,637,000 reported during the comparable 2011 period. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to fewer pounds of refrigerant sold in 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 60% of revenues for 2012, a decrease from the 80% reported for the comparable 2011 period, primarily due to a higher selling price per pound for certain refrigerants in 2012 as compared to the comparable 2011 period.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $7,662,000, an increase of $1,505,000 or 24% from the $6,157,000 reported during the comparable 2011 period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily related to increases in selling expense of $600,000 (primarily in selling payroll expenses), administrative payroll expenses of $600,000, and the balance primarily related to increased professional fees.

Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2012 was ($684,000), compared to the ($860,000) reported during the comparable 2011 period. Other income (expense) includes interest expense of $693,000 and $881,000 for the comparable 2012 and 2011 periods, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is due to a reduction in the effective interest rate in 2012 when compared to 2011.

Income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,395,000 and $634,000, respectively. For 2012 the income tax provision of $1,395,000 was for federal and state income tax at statutory rates or $5,395,000 offset by the release of $4,000,000 of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2012 there is no further deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $12,801,000, an increase of $11,767,000 from the $1,034,000 net income reported during the comparable 2011 period, primarily due to increased revenues and gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses and income tax expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2012, the Company had working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, of $27,408,000, an increase of $14,943,000 from the working capital of $12,465,000 at December 31, 2011. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to net income for the period and the replacement of the Company’s prior credit facility with a new credit facility with PNC (the “PNC Facility”), as well as the refinancing of the mortgage on the Champaign, Illinois facility, resulting in $5 million of long-term debt.

Inventory and trade receivables are principal components of current assets. At December 31, 2012, the Company had inventories of $40,167,000, an increase of $22,433,000 from $17,734,000 at December 31, 2011. The increase in the inventory balance is due to the increased cost of HCFC refrigerants, which are currently being phased down by the EPA, as well as the timing and availability of inventory purchases and the sale of refrigerants. The Company's ability to sell and replace its inventory on a timely basis and the prices at which it can be sold are subject, among other things, to current market conditions and the nature of supplier or customer arrangements and the Company's ability to source CFC based refrigerants (which are no longer being produced), HCFC refrigerants (which are currently being phased down leading to a full phase out of virgin production), or non-CFC based refrigerants. At December 31, 2012, the Company had trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $1,956,000, a decrease of $497,000 from $2,453,000 at December 31, 2011. The Company's trade receivables are concentrated with various wholesalers, brokers, contractors and end-users within the refrigeration industry that are primarily located in the continental United States.

The Company has historically financed its working capital requirements through cash flows from operations, the issuance of debt and equity securities, and bank borrowings.

15

Net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $9,266,000 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $613,000 for the comparable 2011 period. Net cash used by operating activities for the 2012 period was primarily attributable to an increase in inventory, offset by net income.

Net cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $1,997,000 compared with net cash used by investing activities of $946,000 for the comparable 2011 period. The net cash used by investing activities for the 2012 period was primarily related to investment in general purpose equipment for the Company’s Champaign, Illinois facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year period ended December 31, 2012, was $11,296,000 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $365,000 for the comparable 2011 period. The net cash provided by financing activities for the 2012 period was primarily due to an increase in short term borrowing and, to a lesser extent, the issuance of long-term debt.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,991,000. The Company continues to assess its capital expenditure needs. The Company may, to the extent necessary, continue to utilize its cash balances to purchase equipment primarily for its operations. The Company estimates that the total capital expenditures for 2013 will be approximately $2,000,000.

The following is a summary of the Company's significant contractual cash obligations for the periods indicated that existed as of December 31, 2012 (in 000’s):

|  | Twelve Month Period Ended December 31, |
Long and short term debt and capital lease obligations: |  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2017 & Thereafter |  |  | Total |

(1) The estimated interest payments on revolving debt are based on the interest rates in effect and the outstanding revolving debt obligation as of December 31, 2012 through the expiration of the PNC Facility on June 22, 2015.

(2) The estimated future interest payments on all debt other than revolving debt are based on the respective interest rates applied to the declining principal balances on each of the notes.

On June 22, 2012, a subsidiary of Hudson entered into the PNC Facility. Under the terms of the PNC Facility, Hudson could initially borrow up to $27,000,000 consisting of a term loan in the principal amount of $4,000,000 and revolving loans in a maximum amount up to the lesser of $23,000,000 and a borrowing base that is calculated based on the outstanding amount of Hudson’s eligible receivables and eligible inventory, as described in the PNC Facility. Amounts borrowed under the PNC Facility may be used by Hudson for working capital needs and to reimburse drawings under letters of credit. At December 31, 2012, total borrowings under the PNC Facility were $16,451,000, and there was $10,357,000 available to borrow under the revolving line of credit. The effective interest rate under the PNC Facility was 4% at December 31, 2012. On February 15, 2013 the PNC Facility was amended. As a result of this amendment, Hudson may borrow up to a maximum of $40,000,000 consisting of a term loan in the principal amount of $4,000,000 and revolving loans in a maximum amount up to $36,000,000.

Interest on loans under the PNC Facility is payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to loans bearing interest at the domestic rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) and at the end of each interest period with respect to loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) or, for Eurodollar rate loans with an interest period in excess of three months, at the earlier of (a) each three months from the commencement of such Eurodollar rate loan or (b) the end of the interest period. Interest charges with respect to loans are computed on the actual principal amount of loans outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to domestic rate loans, the sum of (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of (1) the base commercial lending rate of PNC, (2) the federal funds open rate plus .5% and (3) the daily LIBOR plus 1%, plus (ii) .5% and (B) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25%.

Hudson granted to PNC, for itself, and as agent for such other lenders as thereafter may become a lender under the PNC Facility, a security interest in Hudson’s receivables, intellectual property, general intangibles, inventory and certain other assets.

The PNC Facility contains certain financial and non-financial covenants relating to Hudson, including limitations on Hudson’s ability to pay dividends on common stock or preferred stock, and also includes certain events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other obligations, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgments in excess of specified amounts, impairments to guarantees and a change of control.

The commitments under the PNC Facility will expire and the full outstanding principal amount of the loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable in full on June 22, 2015, unless the commitments are terminated and the outstanding principal amount of the loans are accelerated sooner following an event of default.

The PNC Facility contains a financial covenant to maintain at all times a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00, tested quarterly on a rolling twelve month basis. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined in the PNC Facility, with respect to any fiscal period, the ratio of (a) EBITDA of Hudson for such period, minus unfinanced capital expenditures (as defined in the PNC Facility) made by Hudson during such period, minus the aggregate amount of cash taxes paid by Hudson during such period, minus the aggregate amount of dividends and distributions made by Hudson during such period, minus the aggregate amount of payments made with cash by Hudson to satisfy soil sampling and reclamation related to environmental clean up at the Company’s former Hillburn, NY facility during such period (to the extent not already included in the calculation of EBITDA as determined by the Agent) to (b) the aggregate amount of all principal payments due and/or made, except principal payments related to outstanding revolving advances with regard to all funded debt (as defined in the PNC Facility) of Hudson during such period, plus the aggregate interest expense of Hudson during such period. EBITDA as defined in the PNC Facility shall mean for any period the sum of (i) earnings before interest and taxes for such period plus (ii) depreciation expenses for such period, plus (iii) amortization expenses for such period, plus (iv) non-cash charges. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the PNC Facility. The Company believes that it is reasonably likely that in the foreseeable future, the Company will continue to be in compliance with all covenants in the PNC Facility.

On July 7, 2010, the Company sold 2,737,500 units, with the aggregate units consisting of 2,737,500 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 1,368,750 shares, at a price of $2.00 per unit pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration and received net proceeds of approximately $4,900,000 (“2010 Offering”). The warrants issued as part of the 2010 Offering have an exercise price of $2.60 per share and were initially exercisable for a five-year period. Effective as of March 4, 2011, the Company repurchased warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $0.60 per warrant. In March 2011 the expiration date of the remaining warrants was extended to July 7, 2016. The value of the aggregate number of warrants issued pursuant to the 2010 Offering was approximately $1,300,000 and such amount was charged as a component of stockholders’ equity to additional paid in capital. In March 2012, warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised on a “net exercise” basis and the Company issued 7,349 shares of common stock in exchange for the warrants surrendered.

As a result of the repurchase, and the exercise of 50,000 warrants, there are 1,168,750 warrants outstanding.

On June 1, 2012, the Company entered into a mortgage note with Busey Bank for $855,000. The note bears interest at the fixed rate of 4% per annum, amortizing over 60 months and maturing on June 1, 2017. The mortgage note is secured by the Company’s land and building located in Champaign, Illinois. As of December 31, 2012, the principal balance of this mortgage note was $764,000.

The Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future from anticipated cash flows from operations and available funds under the PNC Facility. Any unanticipated expenses, including, but not limited to, an increase in the cost of refrigerants purchased by the Company, an increase in operating expenses or failure to achieve expected revenues from the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services and/or refrigerant sales or additional expansion or acquisition costs that may arise in the future would adversely affect the Company's future capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company's proposed or future plans will be successful, and as such, the Company may require additional capital sooner than anticipated, which capital may not be available.

Inflation

Inflation has not historically had a material impact on the Company's operations.

Reliance on Suppliers and Customers

The Company's financial performance and its ability to sell refrigerants is in part dependent on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of virgin, non-CFC based refrigerants, and of reclaimable CFC and non-CFC based refrigerants from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, bulk gas brokers and from other sources within the air conditioning, refrigeration and automotive aftermarket industries, and on corresponding demand for refrigerants. The Company's refrigerant sales include CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. Additionally, the Company's refrigerant sales include non-CFC based refrigerants, including HCFC and HFC refrigerants, which are the most widely used refrigerants. Effective January 1, 1996, the Act limits the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, which production was further limited in January 2004. Federal regulations enacted in January 2004 established production and consumption allowances for HCFCs and imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. In addition, effective January 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitations and a phase down on the use, production and importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. As a result of certain litigation, the federal regulations implementing the January 2010 phase down schedule have been vacated and in July 2011 the EPA recast production and consumption allowances for the 2011 year. In January 2012, the EPA published a proposed rule by which the EPA has proposed to further reduce the production of HCFC refrigerants when compared to the reductions established in the January 1, 2010 published rule. The reductions proposed by the EPA in the proposed rule range from 11 to 47 percent from the levels established in the prior rule, for calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014 (the “Period”). To the extent that there is no final rule for the Period, the industry is operating under the direction of “No Action Assurance Letters” issued by the Enforcement Division of the EPA. For the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2013, the EPA has allowed virgin production or importation of 55 and 39 million pounds, respectively, of HCFC22. It is expected that for the 2013 year the EPA will allow for the production and importation of at least 45 million pounds. Once a final rule is released the actual production figures will be known for the entire Period. The limitations imposed by and under the Act may limit supplies of virgin refrigerants for the foreseeable future or cause a significant increase in the price of virgin HCFC refrigerants.

17

For the year ended December 31, 2012, two customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and, in the aggregate these two customers accounted for 28% of the Company’s revenues. At December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding receivables from these customers. For the year ended December 31, 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues.

The loss of a principal customer or a decline in the economic prospects of and/or a reduction in purchases of the Company's products or services by any such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Seasonality and Weather Conditions and Fluctuations in Operating Results

The Company's operating results vary from period to period as a result of weather conditions, requirements of potential customers, non-recurring refrigerant and service sales, availability and price of refrigerant products (virgin or reclaimable), changes in reclamation technology and regulations, timing in introduction and/or retrofit or replacement of CFC and non CFC based refrigeration equipment, the rate of expansion of the Company's operations, and by other factors. The Company's business is seasonal in nature with peak sales of refrigerants occurring in the first half of each year. During past years, the seasonal decrease in sales of refrigerants has resulted in losses particularly in the fourth quarter of the year. In addition, to the extent that there is unseasonably cool weather throughout the spring and summer months, which would adversely affect the demand for refrigerants, there would be a corresponding negative impact on the Company. Delays or inability in securing adequate supplies of refrigerants at peak demand periods, lack of refrigerant demand, increased expenses, declining refrigerant prices and a loss of a principal customer could result in significant losses. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will not occur and result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and significant losses. The Company believes that there is a similar seasonal element to RefrigerantSide® Service revenues as refrigerant sales. The Company is continuing to assess its RefrigerantSide® Service revenues seasonal trend.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles- Goodwill or Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Living Tangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 simplifies the guidance for testing the decline in the realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by allowing an organization the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite- lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. ASU 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the ASC, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair valve measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We are exposed to market risk primarily from fluctuations in interest rates on the PNC Facility. The PNC Facility is a $40,000,000 secured facility. Interest on loans under the PNC Facility is payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to loans bearing interest at the domestic rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) and at the end of each interest period with respect to loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) or, for Eurodollar rate loans with an interest period in excess of three months, at the earlier of (a) each three months from the commencement of such Eurodollar rate loan or (b) the end if he interest period. Interest charges with respect to loans are computed on the actual principal amount of loans outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to domestic rate loans, the sum of (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of (1) the base commercial lending rate of PNC, (2) the federal funds open rate plus .5% and (3) the daily LIBOR plus 1%, plus (ii) .5% and (B) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25%. The outstanding balance on the PNC Facility as of December 31, 2012 was $16,451,000. Future interest rate changes on our borrowing under the PNC Facility, may have an impact on our consolidated results of operations.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that they are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Furthermore, the Company’s controls and procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements and the reliability of financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Hudson has established a Compensation/Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors, which is responsible for recommending the compensation of our executive officers and for the administration of Hudson’s Stock Option Plans. The members of the Committee are Messrs. Abbatecola, Coleman, and Morch.

Hudson has an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which supervises the audit and financial procedures of Hudson. The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Abbatecola, Monetta and Morch, each of whom is an “independent” director as defined under the rules of NASDAQ. The Audit Committee does not have a member that qualifies as a “financial expert” under the federal securities laws. Each of the members of the Audit Committee has been active in the business community and has broad and diverse backgrounds, and financial experience. Two of the current members have served on Hudson’s Audit Committee and have overseen the financial review by Hudson’s independent auditors for 11 years. Hudson believes that the current members of the Audit Committee are able to fully and faithfully perform the functions of the Audit Committee and that Hudson does not need to install a “financial expert” on the Audit Committee.

The By-laws of Hudson provide that the Board of Directors is divided into two classes. Each class is to have a term of two years, with the term of each class expiring in successive years, and is to consist, as nearly as possible, of one-half of the number of directors constituting the entire Board. The By-laws provide for the number of directors to be fixed by the Board of Directors but in any event, shall be no less than five (5) (subject to decrease by a resolution adopted by the shareholders). At Hudson’s August 7, 2012 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders, Messrs. Monetta and Zugibe were elected as directors to terms of office that will expire at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in the year 2014. Messrs. Abbatecola, Coleman and Morch are currently serving as directors and their terms of office expire at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in the year 2013.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish Hudson with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on Hudson’s review of copies of such forms received by Hudson, and on representations made to us, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2012, all filing requirements applicable to all officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial shareholders were complied with.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a written code of conduct and ethics that applies to all directors, and employees, including Hudson’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and any persons performing similar functions. We will provide a copy of its code of ethics to any person without charge upon written request addressed to Hudson Technologies, Inc., One Blue Hill Plaza, PO Box 1541, Pearl River, New York 10965, Attention: Stephen P. Mandracchia.

On December 31, 2012, the independent members of our board resolved to establish a pool at the end of fiscal year 2013 for the payment of cash awards based upon our 2013 earnings to some or all of the executive officers, as well as to several other of our key employees. The amount of the pool to be established is not expected to exceed $1,000,000, but will be determined by the independent board members at the end of fiscal year 2013 based upon our achieving earnings in excess of a pre-determined level for fiscal 2013 (the “Benchmark”). In the event our 2013 earnings exceed the Benchmark, the cash awards may be paid out of the pool to some or all of the executive officers. The independent board members will determine which, if any, of the executive officers are to receive a cash award from the pool, as well as the amount of the cash award to be paid to each executive officer, which determination will be made, in the discretion of the independent board members, based upon our overall 2013 financial results of the Company as well as on the personal performance of each executive officer during 2013.

Stock Option Plans

1994 Stock Option Plan

We adopted an Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”) effective October 31, 1994 pursuant to which 725,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options designated as either (i) options intended to constitute incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (ii) nonqualified options. ISOs could be granted under the 1994 Plan to our employees and officers. Non-qualified options could be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), our employees or officers. Effective November 1, 2004, our ability to grant options under the 1994 Plan expired.

All options granted under the 1994 Plan are not transferable during an optionee's lifetime but are transferable at death by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In general, upon termination of employment of an optionee, all options granted to such person that are not exercisable on the date of such termination immediately terminate, and any options that are exercisable terminate 90 days following termination of employment.

As of December 31, 2012, we had options outstanding to purchase 46,250 shares of our common stock under the 1994 Plan.

1997 Stock Option Plan

We adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) effective June 11, 1997 pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options designated as either (i) ISOs under the Code, or (ii) nonqualified options. ISOs could be granted under the 1997 Plan to our employees and officers. Non-qualified options could be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), our employees or officers. Stock appreciation rights could also be issued in tandem with stock options. Effective June 11, 2007 our ability to grant options under the 1997 Plan expired.

All options granted under the 1997 Plan are not transferable during an optionee's lifetime but are transferable at death by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In general, upon termination of employment of an optionee, all options granted to such person that are not exercisable on the date of such termination immediately terminate, and any options that are exercisable terminate 90 days following termination of employment.

As of December 31, 2012, we had options outstanding to purchase 749,254 shares of our common stock under the 1997 Plan.

2004 Stock Incentive Plan

We have adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), pursuant to which 2,500,000 shares of our common stock are currently reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, designated as either (i) ISOs, under the Code or (ii) non-qualified options, or for issuance upon the granting of restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards. ISOs may be granted under the 2004 Plan to employees and officers of Hudson. Non-qualified options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards may be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or officers of Hudson. Stock appreciation rights may also be issued in tandem with stock options.

The 2004 Plan is intended to qualify under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and is administered by our Compensation/Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee, within the limitations of the 2004 Plan, determines the persons to whom options will be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option, whether the options granted are intended to be ISOs, the duration and rate of exercise of each option, the exercise price per share and the manner of exercise and the time, manner and form of payment upon exercise of an option. In the case of restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards, the Committee, within the limitations of the 2004 Plan, determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of shares of stock subject to the award, and the restrictions on issuance and transfer of such shares. Unless the 2004 Plan is sooner terminated, the ability to grant options or other awards under the 2004 Plan will expire on September 10, 2014.

ISOs granted under the 2004 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of ISO’s granted to a 10% shareholder). In the case of ISOs, the aggregate fair market value of shares for which ISOs granted to any employee are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar year (under all of our stock option plans) may not exceed $100,000. Non-qualified options granted under the 2004 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of our common stock. Options granted under the 2004 Plan will expire not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of ISOs granted to a 10% shareholder). Except as otherwise provided by the Committee with respect to non-qualified options, all options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards granted under the 2004 Plan are not transferable during a grantee’s lifetime but are transferable at death by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In general, upon termination of employment of a grantee, all options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards granted to such person which are not exercisable on the date of such termination immediately terminate, and any options that are exercisable terminate 90 days following termination of employment.

25

As of December 31, 2012, we had options outstanding to purchase 2,161,588 shares of common stock and 28,313 shares are reserved for future issuances under the 2004 Plan.

2008 Stock Incentive Plan

ISOs may be granted under the 2008 Plan to employees and officers of Hudson. Non-qualified options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards may be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or officers of Hudson. Stock appreciation rights may also be issued in tandem with stock options.

The 2008 Plan is intended to qualify under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and is administered by our Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee, within the limitations of the 2008 Plan, determines the persons to whom options will be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option, whether the options granted are intended to be ISOs, the duration and rate of exercise of each option, the exercise price per share and the manner of exercise and the time, manner and form of payment upon exercise of an option. In the case of restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards, the Committee, within the limitations of the 2008 Plan, determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of shares of stock subject to the award, and the restrictions on issuance and transfer of such shares. Unless the 2008 Plan is sooner terminated, the ability to grant options or other awards under the 2008 Plan will expire on June 19, 2018.

ISOs granted under the 2008 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of ISO’s granted to a 10% shareholder). In the case of ISOs, the aggregate fair market value of shares for which ISOs granted to any employee are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar year (under all of our stock option plans) may not exceed $100,000. Non-qualified options granted under the 2008 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of our common stock. Options granted under the 2008 Plan will expire not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of ISOs granted to a 10% shareholder). Except as otherwise provided by the Committee with respect to non-qualified options, all options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards granted under the 2008 Plan are not transferable during a grantee’s lifetime but are transferable at death by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In general, upon termination of employment of a grantee, all options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards granted to such person which are not exercisable on the date of such termination immediately terminate, and any options that are exercisable terminate 90 days following termination of employment.

As of December 31, 2012, we had options outstanding to purchase 391,843 shares of common stock and 2,608,157 shares are reserved for future issuances of awards under the 2008 Plan.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Our Board of Directors is comprised of five members, of which three directors are independent as defined under NASDAQ marketplace rules. The independent members of the Board are Messrs. Abbatecola, Monetta and Morch. Messrs. Coleman and Zugibe are not independent as defined under NASDAQ marketplace rules.

The independent members of our Board of Directors determine the compensation of our executive officers. The Board of Directors has established a Compensation/Stock Option Committee, which is responsible for recommending to the independent directors the compensation of our executive officers and for the administration of our employee benefit plans. The members of such committee are Messrs. Abbatecola, Coleman and Morch.

In September 2007, the Board established a Nominating Committee consisting of Messrs. Abbatecola, Monetta and Zugibe, and which is responsible for recommending to the independent directors nominees for election to the Board. Nominations to the Board are made by vote of the independent directors of the Board.

The members of our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors are Messrs. Abbatecola, Monetta, and Morch, all of whom are independent as defined under NASDAQ marketplace rules.

Review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons

Each year, all of our directors and officers are asked to disclose the existence of family relationships and other related transactions in Director and Officer Questionnaires. Our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving or ratifying related-person transactions. A related person is any executive officer, director or more than 5% stockholder, or any immediate family member of the foregoing persons, or entity owned or controlled by such person. In addition, pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, all of our employees and directors are required to bring any conflict of interest to the attention of one of the Company’s executive officers or directors. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will consider, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available to us from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances, and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. Any transaction which is deemed to be a related party transaction requires the approval, initially by a majority of the non-interested Audit Committee members and finally by a majority of the non-interested Board members. There are no other written procedures governing any review of related person transactions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Hudson Technologies, Inc.

Pearl River, NY

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hudson Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hudson Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Hudson Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

Hudson Technologies, Inc., incorporated under the laws of New York on January 11, 1991, is a refrigerant services company providing innovative solutions to recurring problems within the refrigeration industry. The Company's products and services are primarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, including (i) refrigerant sales, (ii) refrigerant management services consisting primarily of reclamation of refrigerants and (iii) RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer's site, consisting of system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other contaminants. In addition, RefrigerantSide® Services include predictive and diagnostic services for industrial and commercial refrigeration applications, which are designed to predict potential catastrophic problems and identify inefficiencies in an operating system. The Company’s Chiller Chemistry®, Chill Smart®, Fluid Chemistry®, and Performance Optimization are predictive and diagnostic service offerings. As a component of the Company’s products and services, the Company also participates in the generation of carbon offset projects. The Company operates principally through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Technologies Company. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company”, “Hudson”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or similar pronouns refer to Hudson Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and in accordance with ASC855-10 “Subsequent Events”, the Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were filed.

In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and all such adjustments were normal and recurring.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements represent all companies of which Hudson directly or indirectly has majority ownership or otherwise controls. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries Hudson Holdings, Inc. and Hudson Technologies Company.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments including trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value at December 31, 2012 and 2011, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short and long-term debt approximates fair value, based upon quoted market rates of similar debt issues, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Credit risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its temporary cash investments in highly-rated financial institutions and, at times, the balances exceed FDIC insurance coverage. The Company's trade accounts receivables are primarily due from companies throughout the United States. The Company reviews each customer's credit history before extending credit.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors associated with the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends, and other information. The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable is reduced by the established allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve for the remaining accounts receivable balances. The Company adjusts its reserves based on factors that affect the collectability of the accounts receivable balances.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, two customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and in the aggregate these two customers accounted for 28% of the Company’s revenues. At December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding receivables from these customers. For the year ended December 31, 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues.

The loss of a principal customer or a decline in the economic prospects of and/or a reduction in purchases of the Company's products or services by any such customer could have an adverse effect on the Company's future financial position and results of operations.

39

Cash and cash equivalents

Temporary investments with original maturities of ninety days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of refrigerant products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost, on a first-in first-out basis, or market.

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, including internally manufactured equipment. The cost to complete equipment that is under construction is not considered to be material to the Company's financial position. Provision for depreciation is recorded (for financial reporting purposes) using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of economic life or terms of the respective leases. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Due to the specialized nature of the Company's business, it is possible that the Company's estimates of equipment useful life periods may change in the future.

Revenues and cost of sales

Revenues are recorded upon completion of service or product shipment and passage of title to customers in accordance with contractual terms. The Company evaluates each sale to ensure collectability. In addition, each sale is based on an arrangement with the customer and the sales price to the buyer is fixed. License fees are recognized over the period of the license based on the respective performance measurements associated with the license. Royalty revenues are recognized when earned. Cost of sales is recorded based on the cost of products shipped or services performed and related direct operating costs of the Company's facilities. To the extent that the Company charges its customers shipping fees, such amounts are included as a component of revenue and the corresponding costs are included as a component of cost of sales.

The Company's revenues are derived from refrigerant and reclamation sales and RefrigerantSide® Services, including license and royalty revenues. The revenues for each of these lines are as follows:

Years Ended December 31, |  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
(in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Refrigerant and reclamation sales |  | $ | 52,220 |  |  | $ | 40,346 |
RefrigerantSide® Services |  |  | 4,227 |  |  |  | 3,976 |
Total |  | $ | 56,447 |  |  | $ | 44,322 |

Income taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, which provides for the establishment of deferred tax asset or liability accounts based on the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of certain assets and liabilities. The tax benefit associated with the Company's net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) is recognized to the extent that the Company is expected to recognize future taxable income. The Company assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based on its expectation that it will recognize future taxable income and adjusts its valuation allowance accordingly. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the net deferred tax asset was $4,122,000 and $3,086,000, respectively.

Certain states either do not allow or limit NOLs and as such the Company will be liable for certain state taxes. To the extent that the Company utilizes its NOLs, it will not pay tax on such income but may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, to the extent that the Company’s net income, if any, exceeds the annual NOL limitation it will pay income taxes based on existing statutory rates. Moreover, as a result of a “change in control”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company’s ability to utilize its existing NOLs is subject to certain annual limitations. The Company’s NOLs are subject to annual limitations of $1,300,000.

As a result of an Internal Revenue Service audit, the 2006 and prior federal tax years have been closed. The Company operates in many states throughout the United States and, as of December 31, 2012, the various states’ statutes of limitations remain open for tax years subsequent to 2008. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, relating to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes.

40

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, by determining if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

Income per common and equivalent shares

If dilutive, common equivalent shares (common shares assuming exercise of options and warrants) utilizing the treasury stock method are considered in the presentation of diluted earnings per share. The reconciliation of shares used to determine net income per share is as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Years Ended December 31, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
Net income |  | $ | 12,801 |  |  | $ | 1,034 |
Weighted average number of shares – basic |  |  | 23,906,706 |  |  |  | 23,780,814 |
Shares underlying warrants |  |  | 315,494 |  |  |  | 10,966 |
Shares underlying options |  |  | 2,131,760 |  |  |  | 1,011,267 |
Weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted |  |  | 26,353,960 |  |  |  | 24,803,047 |

During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, certain options and warrants aggregating none and 1,995,000 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted shares, due to the fact that their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Estimates and risks

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company utilizes both internal and external sources to evaluate potential current and future liabilities for various commitments and contingencies. In the event that the assumptions or conditions change in the future, the estimates could differ from the original estimates.

Several of the Company's accounting policies involve significant judgments, uncertainties and estimations. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management's judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, and valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relating to its NOLs and commitments and contingencies. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical and anticipated trends of payment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. In determining the Company’s valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, the Company assesses its ability to generate taxable income in the future.

The Company participates in an industry that is highly regulated, changes in which could affect operating results. Currently the Company purchases virgin, hydrochlorofluorocarbon (“HCFC”) and hydrofluorocarbon (“HFC”) refrigerants and reclaimable, primarily HCFC and chlorofluorocarbon (“CFC”), refrigerants from suppliers and its customers. Effective January 1, 1996, the Clean Air Act (the “Act”) prohibited the production of virgin CFC refrigerants and limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants. Effective January 2004, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and federal regulations were enacted which established production and consumption allowances for HCFC refrigerants and which imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Additionally, effective January 1, 2010, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and additional federal regulations were enacted which imposed further limitation and a phase down on the use, production and importation of virgin HCFC refrigerants. As a result of litigation, the federal regulations implementing the January 2010 phase down schedule have been vacated. Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out during the period 2010 through 2020, and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by 2030. In January 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) published a proposed rule, by which the EPA has proposed to further reduce the production of HCFC refrigerants when compared to the reductions established in the January 1, 2010 published rule. The reductions proposed by the EPA in the proposed rule range from 11 to 47 percent from the levels established in the prior rule for calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014 (the “Period”). To the extent that there is no final rule for the Period, the industry is operating under the direction of “No Action Assurance Letters” issued by the Enforcement Division of the EPA. For the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2013, the EPA has allowed virgin production or importation of 55 and 39 million pounds, respectively, of HCFC22. The Company believes it is likely that the final rule, which the Company expects to be issued in 2013, will allow for the production or importation of at least 45 million pounds of HCFC22 in 2013. Once a final rule is released, the number of pounds will be known for the entire Period.

41

To the extent that the Company is unable to source sufficient quantities of refrigerants or is unable to obtain refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms or experiences a decline in demand and/or price for refrigerants, the Company could realize reductions in refrigerant processing and possible loss of revenues, which would have a material adverse affect on operating results.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings. The Company assesses the merit and potential liability associated with each of these proceedings. In addition, the Company estimates potential liability, if any, related to these matters. To the extent that these estimates are not accurate, or circumstances change in the future, the Company could realize liabilities, which would have a material adverse effect on operating results and its financial position.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles- Goodwill or Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Living Tangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 simplifies the guidance for testing the decline in the realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill by allowing an organization the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite- lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. ASU 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the ASC, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair valve measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.

Note 2 - Other income

For the year ended December 31, 2012 other income of $9,000 consisted primarily of miscellaneous income. For the year ended December 31, 2011, other income of $21,000 consisted of interest income.

Note 3 - Income taxes

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $5,395,000 in federal and state income tax expense at statutory rates offset by the release during the 4th quarter of 2012 of $4,000,000 of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $634,000 in federal and state income tax expense. In future periods, the Company will be subject to federal and state income tax expense at statutory tax rates. Future usage of the Company’s NOL’s will be subjected to annual limitations of $1,300,000.

- Valuation allowance |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | (4,430 | )
Total |  | $ | 4,122 |  |  | $ | 3,086 |

The Company considered its projected future taxable income, and associated annual limitations, in determining the amount of deferred tax assets to recognize. The Company believes that given the extended time period that it may recognize its deferred tax assets, it is more likely than not it will realize the benefit of these assets prior to their expiration. As of December 31, 2012, there is no further deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Bank Credit Line

On June 22, 2012, a subsidiary of Hudson entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “PNC Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as agent (“Agent” or “PNC”), and such other lenders as may thereafter become a party to the PNC Facility. Under the terms of the PNC Facility, Hudson could initially borrow up to $27,000,000 consisting of a term loan in the principal amount of $4,000,000 and revolving loans in a maximum amount up to the lesser of $23,000,000 and a borrowing base that is calculated based on the outstanding amount of Hudson’s eligible receivables and eligible inventory, as described in the PNC Facility. Amounts borrowed under the PNC Facility may be used by Hudson for working capital needs and to reimburse drawings under letters of credit. On the closing date of the PNC Facility, Hudson borrowed $9,548,000 which was used by Hudson to repay all amounts outstanding under the prior credit facility with Keltic Financial Partners, LP (“Keltic”) and to pay fees and expenses relating to the PNC Facility of approximately $245,000 which is being amortized over the life of the loan. At December 31, 2012, total borrowings under the PNC Facility were $16,451,000, and there was $10,357,000 available to borrow under the revolving line of credit. The effective interest rate under the PNC Facility was 4% at December 31, 2012. On February 15, 2013 the PNC Facility was amended. As a result of this amendment, Hudson may borrow up to a maximum of $40,000,000 consisting of a term loan in the principal amount of $4,000,000 and revolving loans in a maximum amount up to $36,000,000.

44

Interest on loans under the PNC Facility is payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to loans bearing interest at the domestic rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) and at the end of each interest period with respect to loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) or, for Eurodollar rate loans with an interest period in excess of three months, at the earlier of (a) each three months from the commencement of such Eurodollar rate loan or (b) the end of the interest period. Interest charges with respect to loans are computed on the actual principal amount of loans outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to domestic rate loans, the sum of (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of (1) the base commercial lending rate of PNC, (2) the federal funds open rate plus .5% and (3) the daily LIBOR plus 1%, plus (ii) .5% and (B) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25%.

Hudson granted to PNC, for itself, and as agent for such other lenders as may thereafter become a lender under the PNC Facility, a security interest in Hudson’s receivables, intellectual property, general intangibles, inventory and certain other assets.

The PNC Facility contains certain financial and non-financial covenants relating to Hudson, including limitations on Hudson’s ability to pay dividends on common stock or preferred stock, and also includes certain events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other obligations, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgments in excess of specified amounts, impairments to guarantees and a change of control. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the PNC Facility.

The commitments under the PNC Facility will expire and the full outstanding principal amount of the loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable in full on June 22, 2015, unless the commitments are terminated and the outstanding principal amount of the loans are accelerated sooner following an event of default.

Building and Land Mortgage

Note 8 - Stockholders' equity

On September 5, 2008, the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration”) was declared effective by the SEC.

On July 31, 2009, Hudson entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with Roth Capital Partners, (“Roth”), engaging Roth to act as placement agent for a registered direct offering under the Shelf Registration to sell, on a best efforts basis, 3,870,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a sale price of $1.15 per share (the “2009 Offering”).

A closing of the 2009 Offering was held on August 5, 2009, at which time, Hudson sold 1,470,000 shares of its common stock at $1.15 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $1,400,000 and no other closings were completed. As placement agent for the 2009 Offering, Roth received $101,000 and a warrant to purchase 73,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.4375 per share, plus reimbursement of its expenses of $56,000. The estimated fair value of the warrant was approximately $48,000 and such warrant was charged to additional paid-in capital as compensation expense to Roth.

On July 7, 2010, the Company sold 2,737,500 units, with the aggregate units consisting of 2,737,500 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 1,368,750 shares, at a price of $2.00 per unit in a registered direct offering (the “2010 Offering”) pursuant to the Shelf Registration. The warrants issued as part of the 2010 Offering have an exercise price of $2.60 per share and are exercisable for a five-year period, which commenced on January 7, 2011. The net proceeds pursuant to the 2010 Offering were approximately $4,900,000. The value of the aggregate number of warrants issued pursuant to the 2010 Offering was approximately $1,300,000 and such amount was charged as a component of stockholders’ equity to additional paid-in capital.

Effective as of March 4, 2011, the Company re-purchased warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $0.60 per share, which warrants were issued in connection with the 2010 Offering.

On March 7, 2011, the remaining 1,218,750 warrants issued in connection with the 2010 Offering were amended on consent of the holders of more than two-thirds of the remaining warrants, to among other things, extend the expiration date of the warrants to July 7, 2016.

On May 17, 2012, the Company issued 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a certain consultant for services, and the Company recognized $74,000 in general and administrative expenses for this service.

In connection with an April 2008 amendment of the Company’s prior credit facility with Keltic, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 five-year common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $1.88 per share (the “Keltic Warrants”). On August 3, 2012, the Company issued 53,140 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of the Keltic Warrants based upon a fair market valuation of $ 4.012 per share on the exercise date (as calculated under the warrants).

Legal Proceedings

On April 1, 1999, the Company reported a release of approximately 7,800 lbs. of R-11 refrigerant (the “1999 Release”), at its former leased facility in Hillburn, NY (the “Hillburn Facility”), which the Company vacated in June 2006. A failed hose connection to one of the Company's outdoor storage tanks allowed liquid R-11 refrigerant (“R-11”) to discharge from the tank into the concrete secondary containment area in which the subject tank was located.

Between April 1999 and May 1999, with the approval of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”), the Company constructed and put into operation a remediation system to remove R-11 levels in the groundwater under and around the Hillburn Facility.

In September 2000, the Company signed an Order on Consent with the DEC, which was amended in May 2001, whereby the Company agreed to operate the remediation system and perform monthly testing at the Hillburn Facility until remaining groundwater contamination has been effectively abated. In July 2005, the DEC approved a modification of the Order on Consent to reduce the frequency of testing from monthly to quarterly. The Company is continuing to operate the remediation system pursuant to the approved modifications to that Order on Consent. In December 2012, the Company met with representatives of the DEC and has proposed further modifications to the Order of Consent to further reduce the frequency and scope of testing, and expects to finalize these modifications during the first half of 2013. Based upon the Company’s recent discussions with the DEC, as of December 31, 2012, the Company accrued, as an expense in its consolidated financial statements, the costs that the Company believes it will incur in connection with its compliance with the Order of Consent through December 31, 2017. There can be no assurance that additional testing will not be required or that the Company will not incur additional costs and such costs in excess of the Company’s estimate may have a material adverse effect on the Company financial condition or results of operations.

47

In May 2000, the Hillburn Facility, as a result of the 1999 Release, was nominated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for listing on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”). The Company submitted opposition to the listing within the sixty-day comment period. In September 2003, the EPA advised the Company that it has no current plans to finalize the process for listing of the Hillburn Facility on the NPL and that the EPA will not withdraw the proposal for listing on the NPL.

The Company has exhausted all insurance proceeds available for the 1999 Release under all applicable policies.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $102,000 and $86,000, respectively, in additional remediation costs in connection with the matters above. There can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of the 1999 Release will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the EPA will not change its current plans and seek to finalize the process of listing the Hillburn Facility on the NPL, or that the ultimate outcome of such a listing will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Employment Agreement

The Company has entered into a two-year employment agreement with Kevin J. Zugibe, which currently expires in October 2014 and is automatically renewable for successive two-year terms unless either party gives notice of termination at least ninety days prior to the then expiration date of the then current term. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Zugibe is receiving an annual base salary of $288,500 with such increases and bonuses as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine. The Company is the beneficiary of a "key-man" insurance policy on the life of Mr. Zugibe in the amount of $1,000,000.

Note 10 - Share-Based compensation

Share-based compensation represents the cost related to share-based awards, typically stock options, granted to employees, non-employees, officers and directors. Share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the estimated aggregate fair value of the award on the grant date, and such amount is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the share-based compensation expense of $134,000 and $69,000, respectively, is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statements.

Share-based awards have historically been stock options issued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 1994 and 1997 stock option plans and the Company’s 2004 and 2008 stock incentive plans, (collectively, the “Plans”), described below. The Plans may be administered by the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board or by another committee appointed by the Board from among its members as provided in the Plans. Presently, the Plans are administered by the Company’s Compensation/Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2012, the Plans authorized the issuance of stock options to purchase 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and, as of December 31, 2012 there were 2,636,470 shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance for future stock option grants or other stock based awards.

Stock option awards, which allow the recipient to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price, are typically granted at an exercise price equal to the Company’s stock price at the date of grant. Typically, the Company’s stock option awards have generally vested from immediately to two years from the grant date and have had a contractual term ranging from five to ten years

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 30,843 and 75,000 options, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested previously granted option awards.

Effective October 31, 1994, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Option Plan (“1994 Plan”) pursuant to which 725,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options designated as either (i) options intended to constitute incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), or (ii) nonqualified options. ISOs could be granted under the 1994 Plan to employees and officers of the Company. Non-qualified options could be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or officers of the Company. Effective November 1, 2004, the Company’s ability to grant options under the 1994 Plan expired.

Effective July 25, 1997, the Company adopted its 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan, which was amended on August 19, 1999, (“1997 Plan”) pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options designated as either (i) ISOs under the Code, or (ii) nonqualified options. ISOs could be granted under the 1997 Plan to employees and officers of the Company. Non-qualified options could be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or officers of the Company. Stock appreciation rights could also be issued in tandem with stock options. Effective June 11, 2007, the Company’s ability to grant options or stock appreciation rights under the 1997 Plan expired.

48

Effective September 10, 2004, the Company adopted its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”) pursuant to which 2,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, designated as either (i) ISOs under the Code, or (ii) nonqualified options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards. ISOs may be granted under the 2004 Plan to employees and officers of the Company. Non qualified options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards may be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or officers of the Company. Stock appreciation rights may also be issued in tandem with stock options. Unless the 2004 Plan is sooner terminated, the ability to grant options or other awards under the 2004 Plan will expire on September 10, 2014.

ISOs granted under the 2004 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of persons holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company). Nonqualified options granted under the 2004 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the common stock. Options granted under the 2004 Plan expire not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of ISOs granted to persons holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company).

Effective August 27, 2008, the Company adopted its 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) pursuant to which 3,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, designated as either (i) ISOs under the Code, or (ii) nonqualified options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards. ISOs may be granted under the 2008 Plan to employees and officers of the Company. Non qualified options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards may be granted to consultants, directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or officers of the Company. Stock appreciation rights may also be issued in tandem with stock options. Unless the 2008 Plan is sooner terminated, the ability to grant options or other awards under the 2008 Plan will expire on August 27, 2018.

ISOs granted under the 2008 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of persons holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company). Nonqualified options granted under the 2008 Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the common stock. Options granted under the 2008 Plan expire not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of ISOs granted to persons holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company).

All stock options have been granted to employees and non-employees at exercise prices equal to or in excess of the market value on the date of the grant.

The Company determines the fair value of share based awards at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and is incorporating the simplified method to compute expected lives of share based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Years Ended December 31, |  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
Assumptions |  |  |  |  |  |
Dividend yield |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | %

Expected volatility |  |  | 73 | % |  |  | 63 | %
Expected lives |  |  | 5 years |  |  |  | 5 years |
